Tennis Thread - Grand Slams & The Tour

Dinner's ready!

 

Seeing the scoreline it looked like Sinner won quite comfortably.

 

Will be the first Australian Open final without Djokovic, Nadal or Federer since 2005.

 

Sinner is enjoying the Zverev v Medvedev match I bet!

 

I'll go Sinner because he should be fresher.

 

Has to be Sinner.
Less wear and tear, finished earlier, playing better.
That's Medivet then in three!

 

Evidently.
Can Bopanna finally win a men's major aged 43?

 

Well played Sabalenka. Consistently the best player on the tour this past year, and now a double major winner too. Won without dropping a set all fortnight as well. Impressive.

Medvedev tomorrow for me. Third time lucky in the final for him, after previous defeats by the GOAT (from two sets up as well) and Novak.

If he does beat Sinner, both singles champions will have come from neutral countries for the first time ever at a slam.

 

Has to be Dinner time!
Medivet has a groin injury.
Heroic to get this far.

 

Has the tide turned?

 

Dinner is ready!

Medivet kept it short in the first two sets but Sinner found a way to prolong the points and grind him down.

Super match and sympathy for Medvedev who didn't do a lot wrong.

 

Oh dear. I got that wrong. Well done Sinner. Poor DM loses a second Oz final from two sets up. That’s 5/6 slam finals lost too now. Bit like early Murray

 

Tricky.

Darned either way I'd say.

 

Oh hats off to the LTA!

Major redundancies incoming and a glossy new ' vision ' soon to be announced.

A mask no doubt so Scott Lloyd doesn't have to explain this to the media.

No more 'development' it's ' delivery '. Regions to be reinstated, counties with less say.

A document full of jargon and waffle.

I've read it twice and I have no idea what they're on about, other than it could have been explained as above.

Absolutely pitiful.

 

Probably.
It doesn't get easier and the others are getting better by the week.

 

He's always explosive and Bublik is no shrinking violet either!

Boulter into the final in Austin or is it San Diego?

I lose track!

 

Wins for the Boulminaur couple in Acapulco and San Diego.

The new 'Flossy' and 'Chrissie'?

 

Down to earth for Mrs Demon at present.
Set and 4-1 to Giorgi in Indian Wells.

Draper out.

 

Always tough to back up a win, especially at a big event,a quick turn around, against a former top 30 player.

 

An excellent first set from Murray who had three set points.

However he ran out of steam and lost 6&1 to Ruble.

 

Gael rolling back the years in Indian Wells v Norrie. The artist v the grinder.

Raducanu and Sabalenka in the battle of the pink Νίκη dresses.

 

She played well.

If Trident fails again, perhaps we can send Sabalenka into space?!

" There she goes!"

 

Impressive win for Luca Nardi, another off the Italian production line,over ND.

 

Another Czech.
Tsitsi has his head and other things doubtless, elsewhere.
Going backwards and hasn't recovered from the humiliation at RG from Alcatraz.
